Earlier, Junaid Safdar was married to Ayesha Saif Khan, daughter of the Qatar-based industrialist and former NAB chairman Saif-ur-Rehman Khan. The marriage happened in 2021. The marriage lasted for two years; the marriage ended in 2023.
In an Instagram story, Junaid Safdar acknowledged the news, stating, “News about my divorce is true.”
The couple’s wedding in August 2021 spanned across London and Pakistan, primarily influenced by the presence of PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif, who is currently in self-exile in London.
Junaid Safdar requested that the media respect their privacy, emphasizing that it’s an entirely private matter. He expressed his hope that with this decision, they will find peace, concluding with, “I will speak no further on this matter. I wish her well.”
Ayesha’s upbringing was in Qatar, where she attended British primary and secondary schools, achieving O and A levels with distinction. For her higher education, she moved to London and graduated with a BEng in Civil Engineering from the prestigious University College London (UCL).
Before her marriage, Ayesha held a Director’s position at Redco International, one of the largest industrial and contracting groups operating in Qatar since 1981. The company boasts a workforce of 20,000 employees and engineers.
